A new study shows that people feel morally cleansed when they are physically clean, and as such are more inclined to judge others more harshly.
…hundreds of participants were told to read a short passage that began, “My hair feels clean and light. My breath is fresh. My clothes are pristine and like new,” made harsher moral judgments about 16 social issues compared to those primed to feel dirty by reading a passage that read, “My hair feels oily and heavy. My breath stinks. I feel so dirty.”
…
Those who held a self-image of cleanliness and purity made more harsh moral judgements on social issues. Crucially, this association was entirely mediated by their having an inflated sense of moral virtue compared with their peers.
Draw your own conclusion. I was looking for a witty finish for “cleanliness is next to ___”. Came up with nothing.

I have an aging cat who throws up a couple of times a week, and another who is a compulsive groomer. Between his urps and her shedding and hairballs, cleanliness is next to impossible.
What an opportunity for a noble experiment. I shall eschew the use of soap, hot water, toothbrush, and deodorant for the next few weeks, then listen to both Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh. I will try to be objective and judge their moral stature while in that state of stench. I bet their opinions will still stink more than I will.
It’s just a silly cliche’. People use them to find a positive outlook in what is usually a negative point of time.
It’s always a lovely start to my day, when the first thing I read in the morning is how everything negative has to do with religion.
I was going to respond to Maggie on the Tali-ban thread but it’s closed on my end. So here, I will just say, Peace to you as well, Maggie. I was never Catholic. I sure know a lot of Catholic’s that decided being Catholic was wrong for them. I went to a Catholic church one time with a young Catholic friend, I was 15. I hated the entire experience. I think we would enjoy conversations on our experiences, but I won’t say more here. It would only annoy some folks here as this is a political thread, even though religion is always brought up. I found your feedback refreshing on the subject.
I was born into a Catholic family, but it didn’t take (I am now a Pagan minister). Spiritually and intellectually, I left the RCs before my age reached double digits, but I couldn’t do anything about it openly while I was still a child. With all the publicity about Catholic sexual abuse of children, that’s about the only form of abuse I didn’t get from the staff at the Catholic schools I attended.
…next to a visit by the in-laws? :D
